At Valley View Elementary School (VVES) we are excited to be back in school after a well-rested Christmas break. Our teachers are doing a great job at challenging students and making the educational process fun. Our students are enjoying art, library, computer lab, music, and physical education throughout the week. VVES is a great place to be with outstanding staff and hard-working, kind, and friendly students. We are lucky to be a Badger!
With that said, every month at VVES we celebrate a different character trait and get the opportunity to highlight our wonderful students. This past month we celebrated the character trait of generosity and the following students were highlighted by their teachers. They are: Mikey Anderson, Kashus Twigg, Brody Swift, Simone Holly, Charlie Patton, Cole Allen, Julie Erickson, Kolten Cunningham, Hudson Krejci, Giuliana Abraham, Addison Lucas, Millie Banks, Lilly Bremer, Paige Sartell, Avery Zody, Isabell Allured, and Christine Abraham. Please congratulate these generous students when you can.
